I. Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

The operating areas of Weikeng Group are mainly in Greater China (Taiwan, Hong Kong, China) and Southeast Asia (Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam). Weikeng Group's companies continue to play the role of connecting technology and creating value in the semiconductor industry chain with the spirit of actively meeting challenges and overcoming difficulties and insist on strengthening the portfolio of franchises product lines to meet market demand changes, even although the external economic environment in 2020 has been hit by the US-China trade disputes and the new coronavirus epidemic, which has led to a slowdown in global economic growth. Fighting the new coronavirus epidemic is like a war, but it has also changed the way people live and work. In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out globally and the global economy has been stagnated, however, the world ceased physical face-to-face contact, but brought up new non-contact business opportunities. The COVID-19 epidemic has accelerated the stimulation of cloud computing, data centers, needs of distance application, the high performance computing (HPC) chip required by the server, logic ICs with high computing power, chips with high-bandwidth memory (HBM), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), etc. have pushed participants in the supply chain of the semiconductor industry to witness that 2020 is a year of great growth and explosion. Therefore, with the efforts of all colleagues and the support of shareholders, the Weikeng Group consolidated sales revenue and net profit before tax reached approximately NT$58.4 billion and 933 million in 2020, respectively, representing a growth of approximately 21% and 161%.

In 2021, the new coronavirus epidemic is still ongoing, and the group’s operating market area is still deeply affected, but because the semiconductor industry and its supply chain have been regarded as "essential infrastructure" and / or “essential business” in real economic activities, in response to the needs of the post-epidemic market, the international market has turned to related semiconductor industries to place orders in order to smoothly and quickly obtain the IC chips required by the market, which will drive the continuous upward development of the global IC design, foundry, and packaging and testing industries, making the semiconductor industry prosperous. The results of this operation in the first quarter of 2021 have already shown clues. However, due to the substantial increase in market demand for semiconductors, production capacity of wafer foundry is tight. Therefore, the semiconductor market in 2021 will show a demand growth rate greater than a production capacity growth rate. At present, pure-play wafer foundries are actively adjusting production capacity or building new wafer fabs, but the cost of building new wafer fabs is high and there is a waiting period for construction. As a result, it may not be possible to wait for new wafer production capacity to meet market demand. Facing the aforementioned supply and demand situation, pure-play wafer foundries have begun to balance market supply and demand through price increases, but the problem has gradually spread to IC chip suppliers (the Company’s franchises vendors), to adjust the short supply situation in the IC chip market, chip suppliers have also extended the delivery time by at least 90 days. In summary, the semiconductor market in 2021 will face the problem of insufficient wafer production capacity, which has caused chip suppliers to adjust the practice of extending product delivery; in other words, the market will have supply not keeping up with demand, and existing demand will be delayed, but new demand for applications will continue to occur, which will result in crowding out, capacity grabbing, and intensive communication with the supply chain. The problem of chip supply shortages may continue until the third or fourth quarter of 2021, and that will be a variable in the semiconductor market in 2021.

Weikeng Group has successfully won the franchises of product lines, covering many semiconductor Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) or IC design companies such as AMD, Amazing, Dialog, Infineon, Lattice, Microchip, Molex, NXP, Sinopower, Vishay, Western Digital, etc. However, the Company continues to find and develop new products and applications in the semiconductor market, look for new cooperation opportunities of franchises, and create new customer demand. At present, in the application fields of industrial electronics, automotive electronics, mobile communications, consumer electronics, computer peripherals, and AI/5G, Weikeng Group's regional companies are capable of providing customers with competitive parts, technical support services, and efficient management services of supply chain to achieve a triple win value through the

D. Research Development Status

The Company has successfully won the franchises of product lines of well-known domestic and foreign semiconductor manufacturers, and has succeeded in maintaining or amplifying the continuation of the franchises after the integration of the upstream vendors under the plan and active effort of the "Business Development Division". The "FAE / AE Division" continues to establish a solid foothold in 3C electronic product applications. It also actively provides technical support of the relevant IC products to vendors and customers in emerging applications in order to expand the new business scopes of the Company, assist customers in saving product research development expenses and shortening time to market, enhance service levels, and strengthen the cooperation with the vendors and customers. In addition, the “Solution Division” which is officially moving into the research development and design field and is responsible for the turnkey solution of the products.

At this stage, the product solutions developed by the companies in the Group are mainly focused in 5G (Smart phones, Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN), etc.), artificial intelligence/Internet of things (AIoT), automotive electronics (including electric vehicles, electric locomotives, charging piles, etc.), consumer electronics, industrial control, Type-C power delivery, and various power products, but also devoted various resources to the application development of related product solutions, such as server/data center, motor control, battery energy storage management system, in-vehicle infotainment system and panel display human-machine interface, to facilitate the reference solutions for customers' products in time, which solutions are now available to customers.

  • (II) Annual Business Plan in 2021

WEIKENG INDUSTRIAL Co., Ltd. Internal Control System Statement

Date: March 26, 2021

In 2020, the Company conducted an internal audit of its internal control system and hereby declares the following:

  1. The Company acknowledges and understands that the establishment, enforcement and maintenance of the internal control system are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and management, and that the company has already established such a system. The purpose is to provide reasonable assurance to the effectiveness and efficiency of business operations (including profitability, performance and security of assets), reliability of financial reporting and compliance with relevant regulatory requirements.

  2. There are inherent limitations to even the most well designed internal control system. As such, an effective internal control system can only reasonably ensure the achievement of the aforementioned goals. Moreover, the operating environment and situation may change, impacting the effectiveness of the internal control system. However, self-supervision measures were implemented within the Company's internal control policies to facilitate immediate rectification once procedural flaws have been identified.

  3. The Company determines the effectiveness of the design and implementation of its internal control system in accordance with the items in "Regulations Governing Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies" (hereinafter called "Governing Regulations") that are related to the effectiveness of internal control systems. The criteria introduced by the "Governing Regulations" cover the process of management control and consist of five major elements, each representing a different stage of internal control: (1) control environment, (2) risk assessment, (3) control activities, (4) information and communications, and (5) monitoring activities. Each of the elements in turn contains certain audit items. Please refer to "Governing Regulations" for details.

  4. The Company has adopted the aforementioned measures for an examination of the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system.

  5. Based on the findings of the aforementioned examination, the Company believes it can reasonably assure that the design and implementation of its internal control system as of December 31, 2020 (including supervision and management of subsidiaries), including the effectiveness and efficiency in operation, reliability in financial reporting and compliance with relevant regulatory requirements, have achieved the aforementioned objectives.

  6. This declaration constitutes part of the Company's annual report and prospectus, and shall be disclosed to the public. If any fraudulent information, concealment or unlawful practices are discovered in the content of the aforementioned information, the Company shall be held liable under Article 20, Article 32, Article 171 and Article 174 of the Securities and Exchange Act.

  7. This statement was passed by the Board of Directors on March 26, 2021, with none of the seven attending Directors expressing dissenting opinions, and the remainder all affirming the content of this Statement.

Chairman and President: HU, CHIU-CHIANG

  • (B) Where a CPA has been hired to carry out a special audit of the internal control system, furnish the CPA audit report: None.

  • J. If there has been any legal penalty against the company or its internal personnel, or any disciplinary penalty by the company against its internal personnel for violation of the internal control system, during the most recent fiscal year or during the current fiscal year up to the publication date of the annual report, where the result of such penalty could have a material effect on shareholder equity or securities prices, the annual report shall disclose the penalty, the main shortcomings, and condition of improvement.

  • A. For the period as of the quarter preceding the date of publication of the annual report, with respect to each uncompleted public issue or private placement of securities, and to such issues and placements that were completed in the most recent 3 years but have not yet fully yielded the planned benefits:

    • The Company was approved by the securities authorities to raise and issue the 5[th] domestic unsecured convertible corporate bonds of NT$ 1 billion in October 2020, the project financing plan for the repayment of loans from financial institutions. The Company has completed the implementation by the end of November 2020 according to the planned schedule, and has completed the reporting of the fund utilization status to the competent authority in January 2021. The expected benefits of the fund-raising project are (1) saving cash outflow of interest expenses, reducing financial burden, and (2) strengthening financial structure and improving debt solvency. Since the duration of the convertible corporate bonds is five years with the coupon rate of 0%, the Company needs to calculate the amortized and recognized interest expenses in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards No. 32 and No. 39 each year, but the interest is not actually paid. Therefore, it is beneficial to reduce cash outflows and lower capital costs. The convertible corporate bonds will be converted from debt to ordinary share capital after the creditor’s request conversion, in addition to avoiding the huge funds pressure of repayment at maturity, it can also optimize the financial structure and reduce financial risks, which is more conducive to the Company’s medium- and long-term development and the benefits of this fund-raising project has gradually emerged so far.

B. Industry Overview

  • (A) The current status and development of the industry

According to data released by the American Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), global semiconductor sales totaled US$439 billion in 2020, an increase of 6.53% compared with 2019 (US$412.1 billion). Under the influence of factors such as the COVID-19 epidemic and trading brinkmanship, the growth of global semiconductor sales in 2020 will be relatively moderate. In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic broke out globally and the global economy has been stagnated, however, the world ceased physical face-to-face contact, but brought up new noncontact business opportunities. The COVID-19 epidemic has accelerated the stimulation of cloud computing, data centers, needs of distance application, the high performance computing (HPC) chip required by the server, logic ICs with high computing power, chips with high-bandwidth memory (HBM), application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), etc. have also become an important factor driving the growth of semiconductors.

Several semiconductor product segments stood out in 2020. Logic ($117.5 billion in 2020 sales) and memory ($117.3 billion) were the largest semiconductor categories by sales. Annual sales of logic products increased by 10.3% compared to 2019, while sales of memory products were up 10.2%. Within the memory category, annual sales of NAND flash products stood out, increasing 23.1% to $49.5 billion in 2020. Sales of micro-ICs — a category that includes microprocessors — increased 4.8% to $69.6 billion in 2020. Sales of all non-memory products combined increased by 5.2% in 2020 and that category reached an all-time high in total sales.

On a regional basis, sales into the Americas market stood out, increasing annually by 19.8% in 2020. China remained the largest individual market for semiconductors, with sales there totaling $151.7 billion in 2020, an increase of 5.0%. Annual sales also increased in 2020 in Asia Pacific/All Other (5.3%) and Japan (1.0%), but decreased in Europe (-6.0%).

Under the control of the epidemic, Taiwan’s domestic semiconductor production plants are operating normally. In turn, the international market has turned to Taiwan’s semiconductor industry to place orders in response to the needs of the post-epidemic market in order to smoothly and quickly obtain the IC chips required by the market, driving the world and Taiwan’s IC design, manufacturing, and packaging and testing industries continue to develop upward. According to statistics from the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association (TSIA) and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), the output value of Taiwan’s IC industry exceeded NT$3 trillion for the first time in 2020, reaching a scale of NT$3.22 trillion, setting a record high. In 2021, due to the short supply of semiconductor production capacity, it is estimated that the annual output value will increase by 8.6% to NT$3.5 trillion. Among them, the output value of the IC design industry in 2021 will increase by 10.9% to NT$945.9 billion, and the foundry output value will increase by 8.5% to NT$1.77 trillion, which are the main driving forces to push the output value of

94

Taiwan's IC industry to record highs in 2021.

The semiconductor industry continues the short supply situation in 2020 and will continue in 2021. The World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) estimates that the value of global semiconductor sales in 2021 is expected to increase by about 8.4% YoY. For a long time, computing performance has been the engine for the growth of the IC industry, however, emerging applications in communications, consumer electronics, automotive, industrial and medical systems are also driving the rapid development of emerging ICs, such as cloud computing, 5G technology, artificial intelligence(AI), virtual reality, the Internet of Things(IoT), autonomous driving, robotics and many others technologies are developing rapidly, and will change the lives of consumers and the mode of operation of enterprises. IC Insights, a market research organization, estimates that, based on the needs of these emerging technologies, the IC industry will usher in double-digit growth momentum in the next three years, and the semiconductor market will grow by more than 12% in 2021.

An important industry development trend worth mentioning is the arrival of the AI generation. In the application trend of AI, technology enterprises not only have actively rushed into self-made design "AI Chip" but also have actively developed AI infrastructure-public clouds, such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, IBM, Nvidia, Amazon, Apple, Intel, Alibaba, Baidu, etc. In addition to wishing to have all kinds of plug-and-play AI basic service APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) from the underlying AI library, it is convenient to quickly assemble various artificial intelligence applications, and hope to integrate the technical components and services of AI to export in the form of industry to assist various industries to do AI for Industries. It is confirming that AI industrialization (industries for AI) can accelerate and expand the progress of AI for industries, and the success of AI for industries can nourish AI industrialization (industries for AI) too.

AI chips are a market that Taiwan's semiconductor industry must actively grasp. In the future, most artificial intelligence computing operations will be embedded in all information and communications’ equipment in the form of semiconductors. This will have huge market opportunities, or even surpass the mobile phone market, and is expected to span decades until the next generation of artificial intelligence or information computing technology. As for cloud services, it is a pity that cloud services are not Taiwan's strengths due to the lack of globally competitive public cloud services, resulting in only serving cloud service hardware providers, such as servers and network equipment. In the face of the COVID-19 epidemic, semiconductors underpin vital sectors of the economy, including health care and medical devices, telecommunications, energy, finance, transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing. They are the key components of the technologies that control critical infrastructure, such as water systems, the energy grid, and communication networks. They also underpin the IT systems that enable remote work and access to essential services across every domain, including medicine, finance, education, government, food distribution, and more. Ensuring the continuity of semiconductor and

95

related supply chains is necessary to support the even greater range of services that will be digitized in the coming weeks and months. Additionally, since the semiconductor supply chain is highly globalized, semiconductor shortages created by operating restrictions in one region cannot be readily made up by production in other regions. For these reasons, the semiconductor industry and its supply chain can be defined as "essential infrastructure" and /or “essential business” in real economic activities, and Weikeng Group plays an important role in the semiconductor distribution supply chain.

  • In the semiconductor industry, the upstream of the supply chain of IC components distributors is mainly manufacturers of various semiconductor components, and the downstream is mainly manufacturers of various electronic products, including OBM, ODM, and OEM. Distributors build a complete sales and technical service network for upstream manufacturing vendors, so that they need not directly to face with many customers, saving their sales and administration expenses, while also playing the role of information provider, forming an important communication channel with downstream electronic products manufacturers. At the same time, distributors can quickly provide the components and technical support to meet the demand of downstream customers, reduce their research and development costs, and make analysis and recommendations for market trends, while playing the role of multiple roles of suppliers, consultants and analysts. Therefore, distributors of semiconductor components frequently communicate with upstream and downstream manufacturers to provide professional supply chain management and technical support services for manufacturing vendors and customers, who is not just a simple trading relationship.

a. Product Trends

In 2020, the Weikeng Group's sales of semiconductor components are based on the application fields of downstream clients. The products are mainly classified into computers and peripherals, network communications, consumer electronics, industrial control and

96

automotive electronics. By 2021, the above-mentioned application fields are still in demand, but due to the development of the global Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic and the extension of regional trading brinkmanship, both of which are still the uncertain factors in the overall development situation of the semiconductor market in 2021, however, as the new coronavirus epidemic changes, “coronomics” and post-epidemic market demand, upstream technology suppliers must continue to focus on their long-term investments, maintain interaction with cooperative partners and potential customers, and take corresponding measures to grasp market opportunities, such as 5G, data centers, AI and the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous driving, high-performance computing, and the intelligent edge, will become the basis for a comprehensive rise in the technical field.

  • b. Product Competition

At present, most of the international IDM and Fabless semiconductor manufacturers grant distribution rights, which are mostly duplex franchises contracts, not exclusive contracts, resulting in dozens of players who play the role of midstream semiconductor components distributors in the domestic semiconductor industry. In addition to the Company, the major distributors are WPG Holdings, Synnex Technology, WT Microelectronics, EDOM Technology, Promate, Zenitorn, Supreme etc.

artificial intelligence/Internet of things (AIoT), automotive electronics (including electric vehicles, electric locomotives, charging piles, etc.), consumer electronics, industrial control, Type-C power delivery, and various power products, but also devoted various resources to the application development of related product solutions, such as server/data center, motor control, battery energy storage management system, in-vehicle infotainment system and panel display humanmachine interface, to facilitate the reference solutions for customers' products in time, which solutions are now available to customers.

  • D. Long-term and Short-term Business Development Plans

  • (A)Long-term Business Development Plans

    • a. With the development trend of technology products, continue to create a triple win value

      • With the development trend of technology products, Weikeng Group continues to provide customers with competitive parts, technical support services, and the turnkey solution of new products, and achieve the goal of bridging the technology between upstream vendors and downstream customers through the intermediary of the Group companies, creating a triple value.
    • b. Balance the risk and profitability of the operating scale

      • The operating scale of each company in the Group is increasing gradually. The sales mix of franchises must emphasize the costeffectiveness and risk of working capital. Therefore, the operating management strategy must balance the management of operational risk and financial risk to facilitate the standardization of business and financing activities. In addition, the Group has to control the inventory purchase timing, inventory level management, and customer credit management, especially in the face of the risk of exchange rate fluctuations, and to avoid the exchange rate changes eroding the gross profit and management profit as much as possible to ensure that the Group achieves its profits.
    • c. Timely increase the injection of equity capital

      • Based on operational needs, financial institutions are currently the main source of working capital, but the Group’s financial leverage still requires a balance of its equity capital to build a better financial structure. Therefore, the Company and its affiliates within the Group will evaluate the balance between the financing activities and capital structure at any time, and raise its equity capital in a timely manner to take the balance between direct and indirect financing into consideration.
    • d. Attach importance to compliance with laws and regulations for the import and export of strategic high-tech commodities

For the IC high-tech commodities of franchises, it may be in the scope of dual use for military and commercial purposes. Therefore, for the import and export of goods, customers, product classification and transactions must be screened to comply with the relevant import and export laws and regulations of Taiwan and the country where the vendor belongs, and exclude the possibility of trading objects for the production or development of nuclear weapons, biochemical weapons, missiles and other military weapons.

98

(B) Short-term Development

  • a. Cautiously face the problem of short supply in the semiconductor market in 2021

  • Facing the problem of short supply cautiously in the semiconductor market in 2021, Weikeng Group must fully grasp and feedback the customer demand schedule in terms of product and price strategy, actively coordinate with the upstream vendors, and make the best efforts to meet customer needs.

  • b. Pay attention to the `` Coronomics '' and post-epidemic market demand

  • As the new coronavirus epidemic changes, timely assess the impact, and pay attention to the “Coronomics” and post-epidemic market demand, and take countermeasures to grasp market opportunities.

  • c. Real-time grasp of the diversified strategies of customers' production bases and supply chains

Due to the trade brinkmanship and the COVID-19 epidemic, which affect the diversified layout strategies of customers' production bases and supply chains, as well as the cross-border movement in the AsiaPacific region, the Group must strengthen support, service momentum and flexibility.

(D) Demand and Supply Conditions for the Market in the future, the Market's Growth Potential

  • a. Supply Conditions

Since the industry of semiconductor and its supply chain have been regarded as "essential infrastructure" and / or "essential business" in real economic activities. Upstream semiconductor manufacturers and pure-play wafer foundries have made great efforts to develop advanced processes and packaging technologies for the design and manufacture of semiconductor components, and hope that the supply of semiconductor components developed by advanced technologies can create or meet demand in new application fields.

One of the tasks of the semiconductor components distributors is to bridge the upstream vendors’ advanced technologies of semiconductor development. In addition to satisfying downstream customers’ derived demand and playing the role of a professional and value-added provider of "demand creation" in the semiconductor industry.

The suppliers of semiconductor components distributors are the upstream semiconductor components manufacturers (IDM or Fabless), and the rise and fall of the output value of the semiconductor industry directly affects the supply side. As the COVID-19 epidemic has not yet seen its end, distance- using needs have greatly increased, and the demand for digital economy has accelerated, which has driven the application market's demand for semiconductor chips to a significant increase and caused the entire supply chain to be in short supply; silicon wafers, production capacity of foundries, as well as packaging and testing are showing tightness and even a shortage of goods. This phenomenon began in the second half of 2020 and has continued to 2021. It may not be able to effectively improve even before the end of this year, that has made it difficult for the supply side of the semiconductor industry to keep up with demand, and it is expected that the shortage of chips will continue until at least the end of this year.

Therefore, the semiconductor market in 2021 will show a demand growth rate greater than a production capacity growth rate. At present, pure-play wafer foundries are actively adjusting production capacity or building new wafer fabs, but the cost of building new wafer fabs is high and there is a waiting period for construction. Therefore, it may not be possible to wait for new wafer production capacity to meet market demand. Facing the aforementioned supply and demand situation, pure-play wafer foundries have begun to balance market supply and demand through price increases, but the problem has gradually spread to IC chip suppliers (the Company’s franchises vendors), to adjust the short supply situation in the IC chip market, chip suppliers have also extended the delivery time by at

100

least 90 days. In summary, the semiconductor market in 2021 will face the problem of insufficient wafer production capacity, which has caused chip suppliers to adjust the practice of extending product delivery; in other words, the market will have supply not keeping up with demand, and existing demand will be delayed, but new demand for applications will continue to occur, which will result in crowding out, capacity grabbing, and intensive communication with the supply chain. The problem of chip supply shortages may continue until the third or fourth quarter of 2021, and that will be a variable in the semiconductor market in 2021. The main reasons for the current shortage in the chips market can be summarized as follows:

  • The COVID-19 epidemic may cause some chip manufacturers’ inventories to be unable to ship as scheduled, and supply chain inventory accumulation.

  • The continuing dispute over the US-China trading brinkmanship policy has caused the supply chain and competitors in the regional market to expect market shares to shift, and which uncertain factor may lead to overbooking; especially in the 28nm mature scaling of semiconductors, there may be overbooking phenomenon.

  • The COVID-19 epidemic is accelerating digital transformation, and changing in work and life patterns have led to an increase in semiconductor demand.

As Taiwan’s semiconductor industry continues to grow in importance in the global supply chain, the overall supply chain advantage created by its overall professional specialization, and advanced scaling processes ahead of global competitors; In 2021, the global semiconductor industry is coinciding with the booming super cycle, and Taiwan’s semiconductor industry has acted as the center of the international semiconductor industry, but Taiwan is facing a water shortage problem. Whether this can be resolved in time will affect the global supply chain, or even cause serious shocks. This will be the focus of urgent observation on the supply side of the semiconductor industry in the future.

Reflected in statistics, the Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute estimates that the total output value of Taiwan's semiconductor industry will grow to NT$3.5 trillion in 2021, with an annual growth rate of 8.3%; and in 2030, it will reach a historical peak of NT$5 trillion. Since the beginning of 2021, the global COVID-19 epidemic has continued to continue to drive the emergence of distance-using business opportunities. In addition, the time sequence has entered the accelerated development period of the 5G generation. The increase in 5G mobile phone specifications has led to a significant increase in semiconductor contents, such as power management ICs, MOSFETs, fingerprint recognition, and sensor ICs, driver ICs, etc. In Taiwan, the mature 28nm scaling and 8-inch wafer foundry have already experienced supply chain shortages and price increases. Even the shortage of automotive chips in Germany, the United States, and Japan has also turned to Taiwan’s foundries for help. The pure-play wafer foundries also promised to

101

put forward a supporting plan to meet the government’s request to support automotive chips as much as possible, including optimizing the production line so that the production line can increase the production capacity to 102%, 103%, and increase the proportion of automotive chips support to let the demand for automotive chips can be met, and at the same time, coordinating whether other chip demand manufacturers agree to allocate chip production capacity to automotive users is an indication of the tight supply-side production capacity.

In order to respond to demand, the global semiconductor industry will continue to invest in related equipment, processes and materials; major international semiconductor equipment manufacturers, such as Applied Materials, Lam Research, KLA and ASML, estimated that the capital expenditure investment of related equipment in the global semiconductor industry will fall at around US$70 billion in 2021. The International Semiconductor Industry Association (SEMI) predicts that fab equipment expenditures in 2021 will be US$ 72.1 billion, an increase of 5% from US$ 68.8 billion in 2020. Leading foundry manufacturers hope that capital expenditures for equipment investment will increase to ensure and expand future capacity supply, and maintain market share and technological leadership, such as TSMC (CapEx of US$30 billion in 2021, and US$100 billion will be invested within three years) and Samsung (CapEx of US$29.6 billion in 2021). Take TSMC, the world’s leading pure-play foundry manufacturer, as an example. In addition to the significant increase in capital expenditures in 2021, it will ensure that 3nm, 2nm or even 1nm scaling technology continues to lead, allowing integrated circuit’s power consumption, performance and transistor density continue to improve; also in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography technology, to solve the problem of extreme power consumption of EUV, it has also achieved a breakthrough in 350W lighting source technology, which will support 5 nm mass production or even 1nm node; there is no less than competitor in terms of material technology innovation, low-dimensional materials, including 2D materials such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), are close to achieving mass production and advancing chip technology; and in order to create 3D chips, 3D chip stacking will be achieved through SoIC (system on IC) and low-temperature bonding processes.

b.Demand Conditions

Semiconductor components are the key essential production elements for the production of various electronic products. The intensity of demand for electronic products by consumers, enterprises, governments, or other institutions is often directly related to changes of macroeconomic prosperity or technological development trends, and thus the related consumer procurement and infrastructure investment needs for various types of electronic products. Therefore, the demand for semiconductor components is the "derived demand" for all kinds of finished electronic products. The demand faced by distributors of semiconductor components is to supply manufacturers of electronic products such as computing, network communications,

102

consumer, industrial, automotive, and other new technology applications, including OBM, ODM and OEM factories.

The correlation between the semiconductor industry boom and the global economic growth rate is highly linked. Once the global economic prosperity is not good, which will also affect the demands of the semiconductor industry. Therefore, the demand development of the semiconductor industry in 2021 will be closely related to the development of the COVID-19 epidemic and its containment. Policymakers in many countries have implemented large-scale, timely, and targeted fiscal, monetary and financial policies, including credit guarantees, liquidity facilities, loan forbearance, expanded unemployment insurance, enhanced benefits, and tax relief, have been lifelines to households and businesses, so as to make the economy recover as quickly as possible and stimulate demand. In addition, the major economies have begun to vaccinate against COVID-19, which is expected to boost economic activity later 2021 and drive global economic growth. Therefore, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated in April 2021 that the global economy shrank by 3.3% in 2020, and then it is expected to grow by 6.0% and 4.4% in 2021 and 2022, respectively (please refer to the below table). Accordingly, the economic prospects of all major economies are showing a trend of recovery and growth, which also supports the semiconductor market demand.

c. The Market's Growth Potential

Entering 2021, in addition to the ongoing trade conflict between the US and China, the COVID-19) epidemic is spreading globally. Not only does it influence the current international situation, but it also has an impact on the future global industrial chain, however, ideas and demands for future technological development have already flooded with our lives.

In terms of technological development, the key element of any technological equipment or device is a semiconductor component, which controls and executes multiple functional requirements of the

104

equipment or device through the compilation process of the instruction set architecture. The fields of applications of semiconductors cover smartphones, automobiles, networks, edge computing, cloud data, industrial automation, smart homes and various consumer electronic products. The industry's demand for the development of key semiconductor technologies and the supply of components is increasing, driving the overall potential market stability expansion.

In the global economic trend, the rise of the digital economy will promote the new direction of economic activities and industrial development. With the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and manufacturing technology in place, it will be able to integrate front-end sensing, Internet of Things (IoT) communication technology, virtual and real integrated systems, cloud computing, big data analysis, etc., to improve production efficiency, respond to flexible production and solve problems such as lack of work, and lead future industrial innovation.

The COVID-19 epidemic has accelerated the digital economy even more! Since 2020, with the global spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, the digital economies that were originally expected to be popularized in 10 years, such as online teaching, telemedicine, unmanned vehicles, has arrived early due to the impact of the epidemic. In order to implement epidemic prevention, it has catalyzed the mature development of technologies including distance working, digital finance, and digital learning, and even a diversified business model of online e-commerce.

To analyze the technological trends of the semiconductor industry and its future growth potential in terms of the following perspectives, such as 5G "Scalization”, computing "Edgelization", wafer manufacturing "Heterogeneization" integration, chip "Specialization", instruction set architecture "Openness", MEMS/Sensor "Fusion", and “Acceleration” of 3[rd] generation semiconductors.

  1. 5G “Scalization” in business will drive the development of 5G mobile phones, base stations, VR / AR equipment, and emerging applications such as Industry 4.0, autonomous driving, and medical treatment.

High data rate, large capacity and ultra-reliable low-latency are the distinguishing characteristics of 5G networks. The 3rd Generation Partnership Project( 3GPP) has defined three major technologies and applications for 5G, including (A) enhanced Mobile Broadband Communication (eMBB), which is mainly aimed at 3D / Ultra High Definition Video, VR / AR and other applications, (B) massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC), mainly for Internet of Things applications such as smart wearables, smart homes, smart cities, Internet of Vehicles and industrial Internet of Things, and (C) ultra-Reliable and LowLatency Communications ( uRLLC), mainly for high reliability and key applications such as autonomous driving, industrial automation and mobile health.

105

The increasing maturity of 5G technology and the large-scale commercial deployment of 5G networks will drive the technologies’ development and popularization of application fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data and cloud computing in emerging video games, VR / AR, AIoT, autonomous driving, smart cities, industry 4.0, and medical imaging. 5G technology can also target private clouds for manufacturing companies, boosting the development of Industry 4.0, the Industrial Internet of Things, and industrial big data, while ensuring the security of enterprise data. In addition, 5G will also drive the accelerated landing of Internet of Vehicles and ADAS / autonomous driving, and provide high-speed, stable and safe data transmission for emerging applications such as telemedicine and medical imaging.

When 5G engages in mass commercial stage, it will first drive the rapid development, technological innovation and mass shipment of chips and electronic components for 5G mobile phones, wireless base stations and communication network systems, including 5G mobile modems Baseband chip, application processor (AP), GPU and AI accelerator, RF components and filters, image sensor / camera, and antennas. In the meantime, 5G base stations are prone to shortcomings such as signal attenuation and short transmission distance because 5G networks must work in higher frequency (sub-6GHz, sub-7GHz or millimeter wave band) environments, forcing telecom operators to deploy and install at least 3 times the number of 4G base stations can achieve full coverage, which increases the demand for fundamental frequency digital signal processing components, RF components, power amplifier components, antennas, and power management components.

  1. The trend of computing “Edgelization” gives more AI and computing capabilities to edge devices, while providing more opportunities for SoC design companies, it also proposes higher PPA (Performance, Power, and Area) requirements.

The decentralization and fragmentation of IoT applications have put great pressure on the transmission network bandwidth and cloud computing capabilities, forcing IoT terminal devices to have the ability to process data in situ. In addition to driving the rise of edge computing, this demand can also improve the performance of microprocessors at the core of edge devices, and correspondingly increase AI processing capabilities. Edge computing can collect and analyze data on IoT devices, make quick reasoning (or decision making), and then only transfer a small amount of useful data to the cloud, which can reduce delay time, bandwidth consumption and costs, and can quickly make decisions based on data analysis. Even if the system is offline, edge computing can continue to operate, processing data in real time and determining which data should be sent to the cloud for further analysis.

As the edge of the Internet of Things or the heart of the terminal

106

equipment, the SoC must not only have better performance, but also have the lowest power consumption and occupied area, that is, it needs to achieve the best PPA. The traditional generalpurpose MCU / MPU / CPU has been difficult to meet different application scenarios and PPA requirements, and the innovation of technology and business models in the field of edge computing can unleash the potential of AI and computing power. In addition, different application scenarios have different requirements for software and AI algorithms. Although it is technically feasible to add AI inference functions on the edge side, customized chips are needed to implement processors with AI-enhanced performance.

  1. Heterogeneous Integration Design Architecture System (HIDAS) has become an innovative driving force for IC chips.

It is possible to integrate dies of different processes and properties through packaging and 2.5D/3D stacking technologies, making chiplet likely to become a new IP for chip design and manufacturing in the post-Moore's Law era. The development of HIDAS enables many heterogeneous chips to be integrated in the same package, including logic circuits (Logic), radio frequency (RF) circuits, MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System), sensor, etc., through technologies such as AI, Internet of Things or 5G, can extend Moore's Law economy and allow the semiconductor industry to continue to advance.

  1. "Specialization of the chip" opens the application-oriented design concept of customized chips. AI chips will become massive data processing accelerator for data centers, communication terminal equipment and specific application products, including automatic driving, head-mounted AR / VR, drones, robots.

In order to grasp the business opportunities of the application market of AI, many technology companies are actively rushing into the self-designed "AI chip", such as Google's Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), Microsoft's Field Programmable Gate Array, FPGA) vision chip, IBM's humanoid chip TrueNorth, Nvidia's Graphics Processing Unit(GPU), Apple's neural network processing chip (Neural-network Processing Unit; NPU), Intel's Nervana neural network processor (NNP, Neural Network Processor), Alibaba Neural Network Processing Chip (Ali_NPU), Baidu ’s Kunlun. These are all examples of custom-developed AI chips for specific needs by software, algorithms and application orientation. From general-purpose CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs to the development of dedicated SoC and AI accelerator chips to cope with the massive data processing challenges of a variety of emerging applications, including high-performance computing in data centers, extensive and fragmented IoT application scenarios, autonomous driving and industrial 4.0, and to meet the processing and use requirements for immediate processing and decisionmaking.

  1. The "Openness" of computing architecture stimulates open source hardware innovation, and the rapid development of the RISC-V ecosystem influences the global chip design community and Arm

107

ecosystem.

Moore's Law, which has dominated the development of integrated circuits for many years, is ending gradually, and the Von Neumann architecture that has supported the development of computers for many years has also begun to highlight its limitations. Generalpurpose CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs have their own expertise and limitations, resulting in heterogeneous computing increases the complexity of the operation. To meet these challenges posed by emerging applications, which needs to innovate architecture fundamentally.

The 5th generation Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC-V) is an instruction set architecture (ISA) with the main features of high quality, no license fees, no royalties, etc. The main difference between the RISC-V architecture and other mature commercial architectures is that it is a modular architecture. Therefore, the RISC-V architecture is not only short and sophisticated, but its different parts can also be organized together in a modular type, thus trying to meet a variety of different applications through a unified architecture.

The mainstream computing architecture of AIoT will be RISC-V, which will also lead the design and development of mainstream chips. Arm has felt the pressure and started to make changes, such as opening up customized instructions, as well as more cooperation with industry partners in the field of Internet of Things and autonomous driving.

  1. MEMS/Sensor "fusion" combined with AI and edge computing will make mobile phones, cars, factories, cities and homes more intelligent.

  2. MEMS/Sensors play a key role in the process of connecting the analog and digital world. With the penetration of AI in the Internet of Things and the enhancement of edge computing capabilities, as well as the popularity of MEMS/Sensors in more key applications, the future development trend will advance with higher accuracy, lower power consumption, smaller size, higher reliability, higher efficiency and smarter.

The key to “Sensors Fusion” is to emphasize that the system depends not only on one sensor, but also on multiple sensor inputs. Whether it is smartphones, autonomous vehicles, smart cities, factories of the future, or healthcare, the sensing subsystem includes various sensor types that need to measure parameters such as temperature, pressure, proximity, and location, as well as various chemical substances and gas indicators to achieve a closed-loop system that tracks, interprets and feeds back relevant information. Taking autonomous vehicles as an example, the fusion of camera vision and radar imaging sensors is required to provide drivers and passengers with sufficient confidence and safety.

  1. The “Acceleration” of 3[rd ] generation semiconductors, empowering 5G RF, electric vehicles and wireless/ fast charging. Semiconductor materials have gone from the first generation of

108

Si, the second generation of GaAs, and to the third generation is dominated by GaN and SiC so far. GaN/SiC is a wide band gap (WBG) semiconductor material, which can withstand high voltage, high frequency and high temperature operating conditions better than traditional silicon semiconductor materials, and has better energy conversion efficiency, which combines the four excellent characteristics of good heat dissipation, small size, low energy consumption and high power. Whether it is lighting, home appliances, consumer electronic equipment, new energy vehicles, smart grids, or military supplies, there is a great demand for this high-performance semiconductor material.

In the 5G mobile communication system, the data transmission rate of base stations and mobile terminals is faster than that of 4G, and the spectrum utilization of modulation technology is also higher, which raises higher requirements for RF front-end components and modules. At present, mainstream Silicon-based laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) material and GaAs materials are not as good as GaN in high frequency characteristics. Therefore, whether it is a silicon substrate or a SiC substrate, GaN will achieve rapid development driven by 5G. In addition, the fast and efficient charging requirements of electric vehicles and portable electronic products will also drive GaN power components to the mass market, gradually replacing traditional silicon power components.

The rapid development of electronic technology often drives the explosion of semiconductor components demand. In addition to existing product demand solutions for customers in computing, communications, consumer electronics, industrial and automotive electronics, etc., the Company and its affiliates also fully cooperated with upstream vendors and downstream customers to actively grasp relevant product solutions with growing business opportunities, such as cloud or edge applications, industrial AI applications, Internet of Things applications, 5G applications and other technical requirements, will allow the Group's business opportunities to stand out in time in the future.

Analysis of financial ratio differences for the last two years. (Not required if the difference does not exceed 20%)
(1)Ratio of lon-term caital to roert lant and euiment increased:
g p ppy, p qp
Mainly due to the Group’s Parent Company issuing the domestic unsecured convertible corporate bonds with duration of
5 years in November 2020, raising long-term funds of NT$1 billion, and the increase in net equity because of the increase
in the Group’s net profit after tax in 2020.
(2) Quick ratio increased:

(2) Quick ratio increased:

130

Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the acceleration of digital transformation and the needs of distance application have led to an increase in the sales of application chips, which has speeded up the conversion of the Group’s inventory to accounts receivable and increased the quick assets. However, since the fourth quarter of 2020, the upstream suppliers are restricted by the production capacity began to appear out of stock or even extended the delivery period, resulting in a decrease in the balance of consolidated accounts payable at the end of the year and a reduction in current liabilities.

  • (3) Interest earned ratio (times) increased:

  • Mainly due to the significant increase in Group’s sales revenue, the improvement of profitability in consolidated gross margin and operating income, and declining borrowing rate led to lower interest expense.

  • (4) Inventory turnover (times) increased:

  • Demand for customer orders increased, which accelerated destocking of inventories and increased consolidated sales revenue.

  • (5) Accounts payable turnover (times) increased: Due to the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, in order to cope with the increase in customer order demand, the Group adopted a more active purchase policy and increased the frequency of shipments. However, starting in the fourth quarter of 2020, due to upstream suppliers' limited supply capacity, shortages began to occur or even extended the delivery period, resulting in a decline in the balance of consolidated accounts payable at the end of the year.

  • (6) Property, plant and equipment turnover (times)/ Total assets turnover (times) increased: Due to the COVID-19 epidemic stimulating the growth of order demand, consolidated sales revenue increased significantly in 2020, and the companies in the Group did not invest a large amount in property, plant and equipment, which accounted for only about 1% of total assets, resulting in the turnover of which increased to 411.27 times. In addition, the consolidated net accounts receivable and net inventories in current assets accounted for approximately 81% of consolidated total assets, the turnover of these two accounts increased, and the turnover of total assets also moved up to 2.53 times.

  • (7) Profitability increased: In 2020, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the acceleration of digital transformation and the needs of distance application caused the sales of application chips to increase, which drove the increase in consolidated sales revenue and gross margin, and the control of operating expenses was still appropriate, resulting in increasing the Group's net operating income accordingly. The Group’s financial costs have resulted in financial leverage benefits due to the decline in borrowing rates. In addition, the position management of U.S. dollar assets and liabilities also generated exchange gains because of the appreciation of the TWD and CNY against the USD. Both of which injected the gains into the consolidated profit before tax and after-tax profit. The Parent Company of the Group had no equity dilution in 2020, and the relevant profitability indicators are increasing compared with 2019.

  • (8) Cash flow ratio (%) decreased: In 2020, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the acceleration of digital transformation and the growth of needs of distance application, the destocking of chip inventories speeded up the growth of sales revenue, and the account receivable also highly increased due to the continuation of the credit policy. At the same time, current liabilities declined due to the decrease in the balance of accounts payable (as described in the 5 above, account payable turnover), resulting in a net outflow of net cash flow from operating activities in 2020.

(9) Cash flow adequacy ratio (%) decreased: Due to the increase in the market demand of semiconductor chips in 2020, the investment in working capital has continued to increase. However, based on the characteristics of the ICs distribution industry, when the net cash inflow from operating activities is insufficient to cover the Group’s equipment purchases, inventory increase, and the distribution of cash dividends, the Parent Company of the Group will launch a fund-raising activity in a timely manner as a support. Therefore, the Parent Company of the Group issued the unsecured convertible corporate bonds of NT$ 1 billion in November 2020 to facilitate mutual support and adjustment of credit lines with financial institutions. (10) Cash reinvestment ratio (%) decreased: Since the net cash flow from operating activities in 2020 showed a net outflow (as described in the 8 above), if reinvestment of assets (working capital, long-term investment, etc.) is required in the future, financing activities will also be carried out in a timely manner as a support. (11) Financial leverage decreased: As described in the 7 above, the consolidated net operating income increased, and financial costs decreased due to lower borrowing rates.

Note 1: The above financial statements have been audited or reviewed by the independent auditors of KPMG, Taiwan. Note 2: The formulas for financial analysis calculations are as follows: (1) Financial structure: a. Debt to asset ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets b. Long-term Fund to Property, Plant and Equipment Ratio = (Shareholders' Equity + Noncurrent Liabilities) / Net Property, Plant and Equipment (2) Liquidity: a. Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities b. Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories – Prepaid Expenses) / Current Liabilities c. Time interest earned = net income before income tax and interest expense / current interest expense. (3) Operating ability: a. Average Collection Turnover = Net Sales / Average Trade Receivables (including all accounts receivable and all notes receivable resulting from trade)

131

  • b. Average Collection Days = 365 / Average Collection Turnover

  • c. Inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average amount of inventory.

  • d. Average Payables Turnover = Cost of Sales / Average Trade Payables (including all accounts payable and all notes payable resulting from trade)

  • e. Average Inventory Turnover Days = 365 / Average Inventory Turnover

  • f. Property, Plant and Equipment Turnover = Net Sales / Average Net Property, Plant and Equipment

  • g. Fixed assets turnover ratio = net sales / total average fixed assets.

  • (4) Profitability:

  • a. Return on Total Assets = (Net Income + Interest Expenses * (1-Effective Tax Rate)) / Average Total Assets

  • b. Return on Equity = Net Income / Average Equity

  • c. Net profit margin = after-tax profit / net operating income.

  • d. Earnings Per Share = (Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of the Parent – Preferred Stock Dividend) / Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding

  • (5) Cash flows:

  • a. Cash flow ratio = new cash flows from operating activities / current liabilities.

  • b. Cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flows from operating activities in the past five years / (capital expenditure + increase in inventory + cash dividend) in the past five years.

c. Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flows from operating activities –cash dividend) / (gross margin of property, plant and equipment + long-term investment + other noncurrent assets + working capital).

(6) Leverage:

- a. Operating leverage = (net operating revenue variable operating cost and expenses) / operating profit.

  • b. Financial leverage = operating profit / (operating profit interest expense).

Note 3: The formula for calculating the earnings per share should pay special attention to the following items when measuring:

(1) Based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares rather than the number of shares issued at the end of the year.

(2) Where there is a cash capital increase or treasury stock transaction, the weighted average number of shares should be calculated considering the period of outstanding.

(3) Where there is a capitalization of retained earnings or capitalization of capital reserves, when calculating the previous year and semi-annual earnings per share, it should be adjusted retrospectively according to the capital increase ratio, and there is no need to consider the period of the capital increase.

(4) If the preferred shares are non-convertible accumulated preferred shares, the current year's dividend (whether or not paid) shall be deducted from the net profit after tax or increase the net loss after tax. If the preferred shares are of non-cumulative nature, in the case of net profit after tax, the dividend of preferred shares shall be deducted from the net profit after tax; if it is a loss, no adjustment is necessary.

Note 4: When measuring cash flow analysis, special attention should be paid to the following items:

(1) Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the net cash inflow from operating activities in the cash flow statements.

  • (2) Capital expenditure refers to the annual cash outflow of capital investment.

(3) The increase in inventory is counted only when the ending balance is greater than the beginning balance. If inventory decreases at the end of the year, it is calculated as zero.

(4) Cash dividends include cash dividends for ordinary shares and preferred shares.

(5) Gross amount of real estate, plant and equipment refers to the total amount of real estate, plant and equipment before deduction of accumulated depreciation.

Note 5: The issuer should classify various operating costs and operating expenses into fixed and variable according to the nature. If it involves estimation or subjective judgment, it should pay attention to its rationality and maintain consistency.

Note 6: If the company's stocks have no par value or par value per share that are not NT $ 10, the calculation of the ratio of the paid-in capital to the previous issue will be calculated based on the equity ratio of equity attributable to shareholders of the parent on the balance sheet.

Note 1: The above financial statements have been audited or reviewed by the independent auditors of KPMG, Taiwan. Note 2: Not Applicable. Note 3: The formulas for financial analysis calculations are as follows: Please refer to the aforementioned “Consolidated Financial Analysis “in this Annual Report. Note 4: The formula for calculating the earnings per share should pay special attention to the following items when measuring: (1) Based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares rather than the number of shares issued at the end of the year.

(2) Where there is a cash capital increase or treasury stock transaction, the weighted average number of shares should be calculated considering the period of outstanding. (3) Where there is a capitalization of retained earnings or capitalization of capital reserves, when calculating the previous year and semi-annual earnings per share, it should be adjusted retrospectively according to the capital increase ratio, and there is no need to consider the period of the capital increase. (4) If the preferred shares are non-convertible accumulated preferred shares, the current year's dividend (whether or not paid) shall be deducted from the net profit after tax or increase the net loss after tax. If the preferred shares are of non-cumulative nature, in the case of net profit after tax, the dividend of preferred shares shall be deducted from the net profit after tax; if it is a loss, no adjustment is necessary. Note 5: When measuring cash flow analysis, special attention should be paid to the following items:

  • (1) Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the net cash inflow from operating activities in the cash flow statements.

  • (2) Capital expenditure refers to the annual cash outflow of capital investment.

(3) The increase in inventory is counted only when the ending balance is greater than the beginning balance. If inventory decreases at the end of the year, it is calculated as zero.

  • (4) Cash dividends include cash dividends for ordinary shares and preferred shares.

(5) Gross amount of real estate, plant and equipment refers to the total amount of real estate, plant and equipment before deduction of accumulated depreciation.

  • Note 6: The issuer should classify various operating costs and operating expenses into fixed and variable according to the nature. If it involves estimation or subjective judgment, it should pay attention to its rationality and maintain consistency.

  • Note 7: If the company's stocks have no par value or par value per share that are not NT $ 10, the calculation of the ratio of the paid-in capital to the previous issue will be calculated based on the equity ratio of equity attributable to shareholders of the parent on the balance sheet.

Analysis of changes in financial ratios:
(1) Net sales revenue and cost of sales increased: In 2020, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the
acceleration of digital transformation and the needs of distance application caused the sales of
application chips to increase, which drove the increase in consolidated net sales revenue and cost
of sales.
(2) Net operating income increased: The Group's net sales revenue increased, but the control of cost
of sales and operating expenses were still appropriate, and the Group's operating income increased
accordingly.
(3) Profit before tax increased: With the growth of the Group’s operating income, financial costs have
resulted in financial leverage benefits due to the decline in borrowing rates. In addition, the position
management of U.S. dollar assets and liabilities also generated exchange gains because of the
appreciation of the TWD and CNY against the USD. Both of which injected the gains into the
consolidated profit before tax to growth.
(4) Tax expense increased: Due to the increase in profit in 2020 and better than the last year, so the
estimated income tax expense increased accordingly.
(5) Other comprehensive income decreased: Mainly due to the appreciation of theTWD against the
USD at the end of 2020, a negative exchange differences on translation of foreign financial
statements resulted.

A. Sales volume forecast and the basis:

  • The Company classifies the franchising products into chipsets/special application standard ICs, mixed signals and discrete components according to product characteristics. The operating target of sales forecast for 2021, is based on the management team’s consideration of relevant institutions’ estimates of the semiconductor industry’s sales forecast, the upstream vendors’ set targets and the Company's internal business plan, will still be positively expected to have growth opportunities, although the external operating environment in 2021 will still be double-struck by the US-China disputes of trading brinkmanship and the COVID-19 epidemic.

B. Effect upon the company's financial operations as well as measures to be taken in responses:

In 2021, the new coronavirus epidemic is still ongoing, and the group’s operating market area is still deeply affected, but because the semiconductor industry and its supply chain have been regarded as "essential infrastructure" and / or “essential business” in real economic activities, in response to the needs of the post-epidemic market, the international market has turned to related semiconductor industries to place

137

orders in order to smoothly and quickly obtain the IC chips required by the market, which will drive the continuous upward development of the global IC design, foundry, and packaging and testing industries, making the semiconductor industry prosperous. The results of this operation in the first quarter of 2021 have already shown clues. However, due to the substantial increase in market demand for semiconductors, production capacity of wafer foundry is tight. Therefore, the semiconductor market in 2021 will show a demand growth rate greater than a production capacity growth rate. In other words, the market will have supply not keeping up with demand, and existing demand will be delayed, but new demand for applications will continue to occur, which will result in crowding out, capacity grabbing, and intensive communication with the supply chain. The problem of chip supply shortages may continue until the third or fourth quarter of 2021, and that will be a variable in the semiconductor market in 2021. The response plans are as follows:

  1. Facing the prosperity of the market cautiously, Weikeng Group must fully grasp and feedback the customer demand schedule in terms of product and price strategy, actively coordinate with the upstream vendors, and make the best efforts to meet customer needs.

  2. As the new coronavirus epidemic changes, timely assess the impact, and pay attention to the “Coronomics”and post-epidemic market demand, taking countermeasures to grasp market opportunities.

  3. With the development trend of technology products, Weikeng Group continues to provide customers with competitive parts, technical support services, and the turnkey solution of new products, and achieve the goal of bridging the technology between upstream vendors and downstream customers through the intermediary of the Group companies, creating a triple value.

  4. Real-time grasp the diversified strategy and construction of customers' production bases and supply chains affected by trade brinkmanship and the epidemic.

  5. Focus on operational performance and efficiency, emphasize operational risk and emphasize risk management.

Analysis of change in cash flow in the recent year:

(1) Net Cash Outflow from Operating Activities:

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the acceleration of digital transformation and the growth of needs of distance application, the destocking of chip inventories speeded up the growth of sales revenue, and the account receivable also highly increased due to the continuation of the credit policy. However, starting in the fourth quarter of 2020, due to upstream suppliers' limited supply capacity, shortages began to occur or even extended the delivery period, resulting in a decline in the balance of consolidated accounts payable at the end of the year. A net cash outflow from operating activities in 2020 resulted.

  • (2) Cash inflow: Mainly because the net cash inflow from financing activities is greater than the net cash outflow from investing activities.

  • Net cash inflows from financing activities: The Group’s Parent Company issued unsecured convertible corporate bonds to generate cash inflows, but also cash outflows, including short-term borrowings reduced by repayment of principal, payment of lease liabilities principal and cash dividends paid, but overall financing activities still generate net cash inflows.

  • (3) For related information, please refer to the cash flow statement in the financial statements.

Analysis of change in cash flow for the coming year:

  • (1) Estimated Cash outflow from operating activities: mainly due to the increase in the balance of inventories and accounts receivable.

  • (2) Estimated Cash inflow: mainly due to cash outflow from investment activities and net cash inflow from financing activities; of which investment activities are mainly intangible assets acquired by Singapore subsidiaries, and net cash inflows from financing activities are due to increase in short-term borrowings, payment of lease liabilities and cash dividend.

(IV) Effect upon Financial Operations of any Major Capital Expenditures during the Most Recent Fiscal Year

No major capital expenditures in 2020.

(V) Investment Policy in the Last Year, Main Causes for Profits or Losses, Improvement Plans and Investment Plans for the Coming Year

  • A. The Company's reinvestment policy mainly considers the extension and expansion of the semiconductor parts distributor business. Therefore, investing in 100% owned subsidiaries

139

in Hong Kong, China and Singapore are responsible for the regional markets in Greater China and Southeast Asia respectively, and belong to long-term strategic investment. In the most recent year, the Company recognized investment income by equity method and received management service fees from overseas subsidiaries, which totaled NT $ 600 million.

  • B. There are no major reinvestment plans in the coming year.

(VI) Analysis of Risk Management

A. Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures

(A) Changes in Interest rate

The financial costs of the Company and its subsidiaries for 2019 and 2020 were NT$424,827 thousand and NT$251,624 thousand, accounting for 0.88% and 0.43% of net sales revenue, respectively, an increase (decrease) of NT$46,262 thousand and (NT$173,203) thousand from the same period last year, the rate of change is 12.22% and(40.77%) respectively.

The Company's and its subsidiaries' financial institution borrowings are mainly due to the fund needs generated by operating turnover, and the debt is mainly in U.S. dollars. Therefore, changes in the U.S. dollar market interest rate will directly affect the financial costs of the Group companies. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, the overall economic outlook is highly uncertain. Therefore, in March 2020, the interest rate was slashed twice in a row by the US Federal Reserve (Fed), a total of 6 quarters, the federal funds rate was reduced to 0 ~ 0.25%, which was almost zero interest rate, and the Quantitative Easing (QE) plan to purchase at least 700 billion US dollars of bonds was launched, and then the Fed strengthened the easing force and announced an unlimited QE again. In August 2020, Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Committee, pointed out in his speech that the inflation target will be calculated on an "average" basis, and he is willing to tolerate the inflation rate temporarily exceeding the 2% target and will not raise interest rates as soon as it exceeds 2%. Therefore, it should be estimated that the US dollar interest rate may remain low for a longer period of time.

The Fed announced on March 18, 2021 (Taiwan time) the latest interest rate decision decided by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which pointed out that Federal Reserve is committed to using its full range of tools to support the U.S. economy in this challenging time, thereby promoting its maximum employment and price stability goals.

The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. With inflation running persistently below this longer-run goal, the Committee will aim to achieve inflation moderately above 2 percent for some time so that inflation averages 2 percent over time and longer-term inflation expectations remain well anchored at 2 percent. The Committee expects to maintain an accommodative stance of monetary policy until these outcomes are achieved.

As a result, the Committee decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and expects it will be appropriate to maintain this target range until labor market conditions have reached levels consistent with the Committee's assessments of maximum employment and inflation has risen to 2 percent and is on track to moderately exceed 2 percent for some time. In addition, the Federal Reserve will continue to increase its holdings of Treasury securities by at least $80 billion per month and of agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) by at least $40 billion per month until substantial further progress has been made toward the Committee's maximum employment and price stability goals. These asset purchases help foster smooth market functioning and accommodative financial conditions, thereby supporting the flow of credit to households and businesses. In other words, the Fed announced that the interest rate policy will remain unchanged, and the market interpretation implies that interest rates may not be raised until the end of 2023. The lower interest rate environment will reduce financial costs for the Company; under the loose monetary policy, it is estimated that the interest rate trend of the New Taiwan dollar will remain low, and the US Federal Reserve has no plan to raise interest rates in the first quarter of 2021. Therefore, the future interest rate management strategy will

140

assess interest rate trends at any time, adjust the proportion of US dollar and Taiwan dollar borrowings through long- term and short-term financing tools, and strengthen the management of working capital to reduce the average capital cost of borrowing.

  • (B) Changes in Foreign exchange rates

The Company and its subsidiaries incurred net foreign currency exchange gains (losses) of NT$ 12,114 thousand and NT$ 157,073 thousand in 2019 and 2020, respectively, accounting for 0.03% and 0.27% of net sales revenue, respectively.

  • The Company and its subsidiaries are multinational operations, and the main transaction currencies are US dollars, Taiwan dollars and Chinese Yuan. The policy of the Company and its subsidiaries stipulates that each company manages the exchange rate risk relative to its functional currency, and the financial department of each company should hedge the overall exchange rate risk. In addition, in order to manage the exchange rate risk from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities, and to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on profit and loss, each company will appropriately adopt the positive and negative position management mode of US dollar financial assets and liabilities, and determine the position gap management at any time based on the judgment of the current exchange rate trend at the time. Therefore, the Company's current exchange rate management, in addition to the natural hedging of USD financial assets and liabilities, is based on the actual position gap, and Forward Exchange Agreements (FXA) are used as hedging tools in principle.

  • (C) Inflation

The products sold by the Company and its subsidiaries are mainly semiconductor components, and the sales territory is mainly in the Asia-Pacific region. The characteristics and prices of the products sold by the Company and its subsidiaries are maintained in good interaction with the upstream franchising vendors and downstream customers to reflect its market supply and demand situation and the latest trend of technological development in a timely manner. As a result, inflation or deflation has no significant impact on the Company's operating results in 2020.

B. Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions

  • (A) The Company and its subsidiaries did not engage in any high-risk, high-leveraged investments or lending in the most recent year.

  • (B) The Company and its subsidiaries engage in the operation of derivatives transactions, and currently only the Company (Parent Company) uses Forward Exchange Agreements to fill the gaps in US dollar financial assets and liabilities, and handles them in accordance with the “Procedures for Acquisition and Disposal of Assets. In the most recent year and up to the date of printing of this annual report, there have been no major losses.

  • (C) The endorsement guarantees of the Company and its subsidiaries are limited to the subsidiary's application to the bank for credit agreement renewal or increase and the credit limit for purchases from some franchising vendors are guaranteed by the Parent Company, are handled in accordance with the “Procedures for Making of Endorsement Guarantees”. In the most recent year and up to the date of printing of this Annual Report, there have been no major losses.

C. Research and Development Work to be Carried out in the Future, and Further Expenditures Expected for Research and Development Work

  • According to the industrial characteristics of semiconductor components’ distributors, the continuous technical support service based on demand creation is the Company’s requirement to keep pace with the times. With the rapid development and application of science and technology in the electronics industry, the investment in applied technical talents and the continuous application of new products in the development of products are all insisted by the Company and are one of the foundations of the Company's core competitiveness. Therefore, the companies within the Group continue fully cooperate with upstream vendors and downstream customers, and actively master related product solutions and application solutions with growing business opportunities, such as cloud or edge

141

applications, industrial AI applications, Internet of Things applications, and 5G applications, which will allow the Group's business opportunities to stand out in time in the future. The R & D expenditures that will be reinvested in 2021 are mainly continuous investment in applied technical talents, as well as capital expenditure investment in software and hardware in laboratory technology equipment. It is estimated that the total R & D expenditure in 2021 is expected to be NT $ 104,703 thousands.

D. Effect on the Company's Financial Operations of Important Policies Adopted and Changes in the Legal Environment at Home and Abroad, and Measures to be Taken in Response.

Regarding important domestic and foreign policy and legal changes, the Company will promptly consult CPAs and consultant lawyers as a response. In the most recent year and as of the date of publication of this annual report, there have been no significant impacts on the Company's financial operations.

  • E. Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and the Industry Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales

The Company and its subsidiaries are located in the middle of the semiconductor component supply chain. According to the industry characteristics of semiconductor component distributors, continuous technical support services mainly based on demand creation are the requirements of the Company and its subsidiaries to keep pace with the times. With the rapid development and application of technology in the electronics industry, the investment of applied technical talents and the continuous research and development of new application areas of products are all adhered to by the Company and its subsidiaries, and are also one of the foundations of the Company and its subsidiaries' core competitiveness. Therefore, the Group Companies continue to fully cooperate with upstream franchising vendors and downstream customers to actively grasp related product solutions and turnkey solutions with growing business opportunities. In the most recent year and as of the publication date of this annual report, the Company and its subsidiaries have strengthened the completeness and balance of the product portfolio, and also emphasized the diversification of the customer sales structure, in order to reduce the Group's operating risks and increase the Group's overall gross profit.

  • F. The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Crisis Management, and the Company’s Response Measures

The Company takes “bridging technology and creating value" as its business philosophy, and strives to establish partnerships with customers and vendors; therefore, since its inception, the Company has consistently maintained an ethical business philosophy and fulfilled its social responsibilities. Aside from working to strengthen internal management and conforming to all relevant corporate governance requirements, the Company has also encourages numerous public welfare activities.

G. Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans

The Company has no ongoing merger and acquisition activities. In considering future M&A activities, the Company will evaluate their efficiency, risks, vertical integration and other factors in accordance with its internal control system.

  • H. Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Factory Expansion Plans Any expansion of the Company’s facilities will be subject to careful evaluation by a special task force in accordance with the Company’s internal control system. In the most recent year and up to the printing date of this Annual Report, no expansion of plant equipment has occurred.

I. Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration

The Company is a distributor of electronic components and peripherals. Purchases are carried out in accordance with the signed distributor agreements. These franchises of product lines are diversified and decentralized. There are no excessive concentration of

142

purchasing sources and risks. The sales targets for downstream customers are distributed in the Asia-Pacific region. Products sold cover the markets of computers, communications, consumer, industrial and automotive electronics. A single sales customer accounts for less than 10% of total revenue, and there is no such thing as a high concentration of sales and risks.

  • J. Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to Large Share Transfers or Changes in Shareholdings by Directors, Supervisors, or Shareholders with Shareholdings of over 10%

In the most recent year and as of the date of publication of the Annual Report, the holdings of these personnel have been stable and no such major transfers or swaps of shares.

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards ( “ IFRSs ” ), International Accounting Standards ( “ IASs ” ), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Furthermore, we conducted our audit of the Consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of

the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judged shall be presented in the auditors’ report as follows:

149

==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

1. Recognition of Operating Revenue

Please refer to note (4)(m) “Revenue recognition” for accounting policies with respect to recognizing revenue, and to note (6)(r) “Revenue from contracts with customers” for explanatory notes about revenue.

Description of key audit matters:

Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. is a listed company. The Group is a distributor for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Operating revenue is one of the significant items in the consolidated financial statements, and the amounts and changes of operating revenue may affect the users’ understanding of the entire financial statements. Therefore, the testing over revenue recognition is considered a key matter in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include testing the Group's controls surrounding revenue recognition in the order-to-cash transaction cycle, including reconciliations between the general ledger and sales system; performing the detailed test of relevant vouchers, as well as assessing whether the Group’s timing on revenue recognition and the amounts recognized are in accordance with the related standards.

2. Valuation of Inventories

Please refer to note (4)(h) “ Inventories” for accounting policies with respect to valuating inventories; note (5) "Valuation of inventories" for accounting estimates and uncertainties of affairs for inventory valuation, and to note (6)(f) “Inventories” for explanatory notes about inventories and related expenses.

Description of key audit matters:

The Group is a distributor for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Due to the horizontal competition in the industry and constant advancement of related technologies, the price of end electronic products are volatile, and thus, affects the price of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Therefore, the testing over the valuation of inventories is considered a key matter in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include testing the related control over the cost operating cycle; evaluating whether the policies for setting aside allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses are in accordance with the Group ’ s policies and related standard; taking into consideration the possible impact of COVID-19s; and executing the implementation of sampling procedures to check the correctness of stock age. In addition, we also examined the inventory aging reports; understood the subsequent sales status of slow-moving inventories; and evaluated the adopted basis of net realizable value to verify the rationality of the management’s estimates on the allowance for inventory valuation.

Other Matter

Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. has additionally prepared its parent company only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements

150

==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of

China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group ’s financial reporting process.

AuditorsResponsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise

professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

151

==> picture [61 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

  1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on this consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Jui-Lan Lo and Yiu-Kwan Au.

Please refer to note (4)(b) for related information. The Company s common shares were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE).

(2) Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements

These consolidated financial statements were reported to the board of directors and issued on March 26, 2021.

(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:

  • (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.

The Group has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, from January 1, 2020:

  • (b) The impact of IFRS issued by the FSC but not yet effective

The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2021, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to IFRS 4 “Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9”

  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - ” Phase 2

157

  • (c) The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The Group does not expect the following new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:

  • Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

  • Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

  • Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies presented in the consolidated financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

(a) Statement of compliance

These consolidated annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations) and IFRSs, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value (including derivative financial instruments);

  • 2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

  • 3) The defined benefit liabilities are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation limited as explained in to note 4(n).

158

  • (ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each Group entities is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entities operate. The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company ’ s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(c) Basis of Consolidation

  • (i) Principle of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group attributes the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received will be recognized directly in equity, and the Group will attribute it to the owners of the parent.

(d) Foreign currencies

  • (i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • ‧ an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;

  • ‧ a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or

  • ‧ qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

  • (ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the functional currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

160

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to noncontrolling interests. When the Group disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, Exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (e) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  • (i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  • (f)

  • Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are reclassified as cash equivalents.

161

(g) Financial instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

  • (i) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • ‧ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

162

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI )

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

‧its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Some accounts receivables are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling by the Group, therefore, those receivables are measured at FVOCI. However, they are included in the “ accounts receivables” line item.

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes that are measured at fair value, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss.

163

  • 4) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized costs, notes and accounts receivable, other receivable and guarantee deposit paid), accounts receivable measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

‧debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

‧other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This ’ includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

The Group considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘investment grade which is considered to be BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor’s, Baa3 or higher per Moody’s or twA or ’ higher per Taiwan Ratings .

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full.

164

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;

‧the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

‧it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

‧the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

  • 5) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

165

(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

  • 2) Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

  • 3) Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Group comprise convertible bonds that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.

The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognized at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.

Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss.

On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognized.

  • 4) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

166

  • 5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (iii) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average-cost principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or transition costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less, the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

  • (i) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

167

  • (ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

  • (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straightline basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • 1) Buildings: 59 years

  • 2) Transportation equipment: 5~11 years

  • 3) Machinery equipment: 1~6 years

  • 4) Office and other equipment: 1~7 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (j) Leases

  • (i) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:

  • 1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • 2) the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • 3) the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:

  • the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

  • the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

168

  • - the customer has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

  • - the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

(ii) As a leasee

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is assessed periodically and is reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • 1) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payment;

  • 2) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • 1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • 2) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or

  • 3) there is any lease modifications in lease subject, scope of the lease or other terms.

169

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Group accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, including dormitories, part of offices and transportation equipment. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(iii) As a lessor

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

(k) Intangible assets

(i) Recognition and measurement

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

170

(iii) Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • 1) Computer software: 1~10 years

  • 2) Other intangible assets: 3 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(l) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(m) Revenue recognition

  • (i) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Group’s main types of revenue are explained below.

  • 1) Sale of goods

The Group sells electronic components and computer peripherals to customers. The Group recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’ s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

171

The Group often offers commercial discounts and volume discounts to its customers. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A Refund liability is recognized for expected discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made at the end of the reporting period.

For certain contracts that permit a customer to return products, revenue would not be recognized for the products expected to be returned. In addition, the Group recognized a refund liability for these contracts and an asset (and corresponding adjustment to cost of sales) for its right to recover products from customers on settling the refund liability.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

2) Commissions

For every specific product or service which the Group promises to provide to customers, the Group should determine whether it is a principal or an agent. The Group is an agent when the other party joins to provide products or services to the customers, and the performance obligation of the Group is arranged by the other party as well. If the Group is an agent, the revenue will be recognized as the net amount from receivables of the products or services provided and payments to the other party; or be recognized based on the commission agreeed upon in the contract.

3) Financing components

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(n) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group ’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

172

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of the economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on the settlement of the plan liabilities.

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the expense of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group can reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings or other equity. If the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to other equity, they shall not be reclassified to profit or loss or recognized in retained earnings in a subsequent period.

The Group recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets and the change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Group is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Group has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.

(iv) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

173

(o) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is re-measured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the liability are recognized as personnel expenses in profit or loss.

(p) Income Taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

The Group has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS37.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • (i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;

  • (ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  • (iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

174

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  • (i) the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

  • 2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

The surtax on unappropriated earnings is recorded as current tax expense in the following year after the resolution to appropriate retained earnings is approved in a stockholders' meeting.

The surtax on unappropriated earnings is recoded as current tax expense in the following year after the resolution to appropriate retained earnings is approved in a stockholders’ meeting.

(q) Earnings per share

The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds and employee compensation.

(r) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.

175

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

There are no critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows. Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of COVID-19 pandemic:

(a) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group estimates the net realizable value of inventories for normal consumption, obsolescence on unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to note (6)(f) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

The Group has assessed a portion of its accounts receivable that was held within a business model whose objective is achieved by selling financial assets; therefore, such accounts receivable was measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Group applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics of the customer's ability to pay all due amounts in accordance with contract terms, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information. The loss allowance provision was determined as follows:

The Group has entered into accounts receivable factoring agreements with banks. According to the factoring agreement, the Group does not bear the loss if the account debtor does not have the ability to make payments upon the transfer of the accounts receivable factoring. The Group has not provided other guarantees except for the promissory notes, which have the same amount with the factoring, used as the guarantee for the sales return and discount. The Group received the proceeds from the discounted accounts receivable on the selling date. Interest is calculated and paid based on the duration and interest rate of the agreement, and the remaining amounts are received when the accounts receivable are paid by the customers. In addition, the Group has to pay a service charge based on a certain rate.

180

The Group derecognized the above trade receivables because it has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of their ownership, and it does not have any continuing involvement by them. The amounts receivable from the financial institutions were recognized as “other receivables” upon the derecognition of those trade receivables.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group sold its trade receivable without recourse as follows:

(i) Real estate leases

The Group leases buildings for its office space, warehouses and dormitories. The leases of office space typically run for a period of 1 to 5 years, of warehouses for 1 to 4 years, and of dormitories for 2 years. Some leases include an option to renew the lease for an additional period of the same duration after the end of the contract term.

Some leases of office buildings contain extension or cancellation options exercisable by the Group before the end of the non-cancellable contract period. These leases are negotiated and monitored by local management, and accordingly, contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The extension options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the lessors. In which lease is not reasonably certain to use an optional extended lease term, payments associated with the optional period are not included within lease liabilities.

(ii) Other leases

The Group leases transportation equipment and parking space with lease terms of one year. These leases are short-term. The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for these leases.

The weighted-average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 14.11 years.

  • 6) Sensitivity analysis

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, if the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation shall be as follows:

December 31, 2020

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.

There is no change in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of sensitivity analysis for 2020 and 2019.

Before the distribution of dividends, the Board of Directors shall first take into consideration its profitability, plan of capital expenditure, business expansion and capital, requirements for cash flow, regulations, and degree of dilution of earnings per share in determining the proportion of stock and cash dividends to be paid. After the above appropriations, current and prior-period earnings that remain undistributed will be proposed for distribution by the Board of Directors, and a meeting of shareholders will be held to adopt this resolution.

2) Special reverse

In accordance with Ruling No. 1010012865 issued by the FSC on April 6, 2012, a portion of current-period earnings and undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as a special earnings reserve during earnings distribution.

The Group was determined in some specific transactions as an agent that the other party sold some merchandises to end-customer by delivering them to the Group. In these cases, the Group did not obtain the control of the merchandises, therefore, the Group recognized the remaining sales amounts which have been offset against the payment to the other party from the transactions; or recognized the commission signed with the other party, as revenue.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group was determined as an agent in the aforementioned transactions, which revenue amounted to $72,001 and $11,383, respectively. Due to the above transactions, the other receivables amounted to $580,597 and $938,929 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively; and the other payables amounted to $632,478 and $936,542 as of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The major change in the balance of contract assets and contract liabilities is the difference between the time frame in the performance obligation to be satisfied and the payment to be received.

  • (s) Remuneration to employees and directors

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation require that earning shall first be offset against any deficit, then, 6% to 10% of profit before tax (before deducting remuneration to employees and directors) will be distributed as employee remuneration and a maximum of 2.5% will be allocated as directors’ remuneration. Employees who are entitled to receive the above-mentioned employee remuneration, in share or cash, include the employees of the subsidiaries of the Company who meet certain specific requirements. Actual distribution should be determined in the Board of Directors’ meeting, with no less than two-thirds of directors present, and approved by more than half of the directors attending the meeting, then shall be report to the meeting of shareholders.

199

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the accrued remuneration of the Company's employees were $78,442 and $29,690, as well as directors were $19,611 and $7,422, respectively. These amounts were calculated by using the Company’s profit before tax for the period before deducting the amount of remuneration to employees and directors, multiplied by the distribution ratio of remuneration to employees and directors under the Company’s articles of Incorporation, and expensed under operating expenses. If the Board of Directors resolved to distribute employees’ remuneration in the form of shares, the numbers of shares to be distributed were calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares one day before the date of the meeting of the board of directors.

The amounts, as stated in the financial statements, are identical to those of the actual distributions for 2020 and 2019. Related information would be available at the Market Observation Post System website.

(t) Financial Instruments

  • (i) Credit risk

  • 1) Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.

  • 2) Concentration of credit risk

Because the Group caters to a wide variety of customers and has a diverse market distribution, the Group does not concentrate in any single individual customer. Therefore, there is no significant credit risk of concentration in trade receivable. In order to reduce credit risk, the Group monitors the financial conditions of its customers regularly. However, the Group does not require its customers to provide any collateral.

  • 3) Receivables

For credit risk exposure of notes and trade receivables, please refer to note (6)(d).

The amount of other financial assets at amortized cost include other receivables which had been impaired. For the loss allowance provision, please refer to the note (6)(e).

  • 2) Currency risk sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, account receivables, other receivables, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, loans and borrowings, accounts payables and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A change of 5% in the exchange rate of TWD or CNY against foreign currency for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increase (decreased) the other comprehensive income (before tax) $1,061 and $1,118, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased (decreased) the net profit before tax as follows. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

  • 3) Exchange gains and losses of monetary items

As the Group deals in diverse foreign currencies, gains or losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the foreign exchange gain (loss), including both realized and unrealized, amounted to a gain of $157,073 and a gain of $12,114, respectively.

  • 4) Equity market price risk

If the price of the fair value of equity instruments (including the stocks listed on domestic market at stock exchange (over-the-counter) market share, domestic emerging market stocks and domestic and foreign unlisted stocks) changed at the report date. (with the same analysis performed for both periods, assuming all other variable factors remain constant), it would have resulted in the change in the comprehensive income as illustrated below.

  • (iv) Interest rate analysis

The details of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk were as follows:

Variable rate instruments:
Financial assets
Financial liabilities
**Carrying ** amount
December 31,
2019
1,554,199
(9,175,602)
December 31,
2020
$ 1,836,291
(9,076,469)

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rate on the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding the assets and liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is on the basis of the assumption that the amount of assets and liabilities outstanding at the reporting date were outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increase or decrease by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Group’s management's assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.

203

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, the Group's net profit before tax would have decreased or increased by $18,100 and $19,054 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which would be mainly resulting from demand deposits, and unsecured loans with variable interest rates.

  • (v) Fair value

  • 1) Categories and the fair value of financial instruments

There were no transfers of financial instruments between any levels for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

  • 2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value

The Group’s valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

  • a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted prices are available, the discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair values.

  • 3) Valuation technique of financial instruments measured at fair value

  • a) Non-derivative financial instruments

If the financial instrument has a public quoted price in an active market, the public quoted price will be determined as the fair value. The measurements on fair value of the financial instruments without an active market are determined using the valuation technique or the quoted market price of its counterparts. Fair value measured using the valuation technique can be extrapolated from similar financial instruments, discounted cash flow method, or other valuation techniques which include the model used in calculating the observable market data at the consolidated balance sheet date.

206

The Group holds the unquoted equity investments of financial instruments without an active market. The measurement of fair value of the equity instruments is based on the Guideline Public Company method, which mainly assumes the evaluation by the price value and the price to book value ratio of similar public company and by the discount for lack of marketability. The estimation has been adjusted by the effect resulting from the discount for lack of marketability of the securities.

b) Derivative financial instruments

Measurement of fair value of derivative instruments is based on the valuation techniques that are generally accepted by the market participants. For instance, discount method or option pricing models. Fair value of forward currency exchange is usually determined by using the forward currency rate.

  • (u) Financial risk management

  • (i) Briefings

The Group is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • 1) Credit risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) Market risk

In this note expressed the information on risk exposure and objectives, policies and procedures of risk measurement and management. For detailed information, please refer to the related notes of each risk.

208

(ii) Structure of risk management

The Group’s finance department provides business services for the overall internal department. It sets the objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and the methods used to measure the risk arising from both the domestic and international financial market operations. The Group minimizes the risk exposure through derivative financial instruments. The board of directors regulated the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments in accordance with the Group’s policy about risks arising from financial instruments such as currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and the investments of excess liquidity. The internal auditors of the Group continue with the review of the amount of the risk exposure in accordance with the Group ’s policies and the risk management policies and procedures. The Group has no transactions in financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) for the purpose of speculation.

(iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial ’ instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group s receivables from customers and investment securities.

1) Accounts receivable and other receivables

The Group has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Group ’ s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, and these limits are reviewed periodically. The customers evaluated as low credit rating by the Group only have prepayment transactions with the Group.

Trade and other receivables mainly relate to a wide range of customers from different industries and geographic regions. The Group continued to assess the financial condition and credit risk of its customers, by grouping trade and other receivables based on their characteristics and will purchase credit guarantee insurance contracts if necessary.

Because the Group caters to a wide variety of customers and has a diverse market distribution, the Group does not concentrate in any single individual customer. Therefore, there is no significant credit risk of concentration in trade receivable. In order to reduce the credit risk, the Group monitors the financial conditions of its customers regularly. However, the Group does not require its customers to provide any collateral.

2) Investments

The credit risks exposure in the bank deposits, investments with fixed income and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Group’s finance department. Since the Group ’ s transaction counterparties and the contractually obligated counterparties are banks, financial institutes and corporate organizations with good credits, there are no compliance issues, and therefore, no significant credit risk. The finance department evaluates the counterparty ’ s credit condition when investing in bond investment without an active market, and do not expect to have any significant credit risk.

209

(iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

The Group manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Group’s management supervises the banking facilities and ensures in compliance with the terms of the loan agreements.

Borrowings from the banks and accounts receivable factoring are important sources of liquidity for the Group. Please refer to note (6)(d) and note (6)(i) for unused short-term bank facilities and factoring amount as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

  • (v) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

1) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currencies of the Group, primarily the USD, CNY and HKD.

When short-term assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are unbalanced, the Group uses exchange rate to buy or sell about foreign currency to ensure that the net risk is maintained at an acceptable level.

  • 2) Interest rate risk

As the Group’s borrowings position are based on USD and NTD, the Group’s capital cost will result in an decrease (increase) when Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) decrease (increase) the interest rate of USD and NTD. The Group adjusts the proportion of the USD and NTD borrowings to minimize the cost of capital, in order to reduce interest rate risk to and acceptable level.

  • 3) Other price risk

The management of the Group monitors the listed or OTC share investments and open-end mutual funds based on the market price.

  • (v) Capital management

The policy of the board of directors is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, capital surplus, and retained earnings.

210

The Group monitors the capital structure by way of periodical review on the liability ratio. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the liability ratios were as follows:

Total liabilities

Independent AuditorsReport

To the Board of Directors of Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Furthermore, we conducted our audit of the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters we judged shall be presented in the auditors’ report as follows:

  1. Recognition of Operating Revenue

Please refer to note (4)(m) “Revenue recognition” for accounting policies with respect to recognizing revenue, and to note (6)(s) “Revenue from contracts with customers ” for explanatory notes about revenue.

222

==> picture [62 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Description of key audit matters:

Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. is a listed company. The Company is a distributor for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Operating revenue is one of the significant items in the financial statements, and the amounts and changes of operating revenue may affect the users’ understanding of the entire financial statements. Therefore, the testing over revenue recognition is considered a key matter in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include testing the Company’s controls surrounding revenue recognition in the order-to-cash transaction cycle, including reconciliations between the general ledger and sales system; performing the detailed test of relevant vouchers, as well as assessing whether the Company’s timing on revenue recognition and the amounts recognized are in accordance with related standards.

2. Valuation of Inventories

Please refer to note (4)(g) “ Inventories” for accounting policies with respect to valuating inventories, to note (5) "Valuation of inventories" for accounting estimates and uncertainties of affairs for inventory valuation; and to note (6)(f) “Inventories” for explanatory notes about inventories and related expenses.

Description of key audit matters:

The Company is a distributor for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Due to the horizontal competition in the industry and constant advancement of related technologies, the price of end electronic products are volatile, and thus, affects the price of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment. Therefore, the testing over the valuation of inventories is considered a key matter in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include testing the related control over the cost operating cycle; evaluating whether the policies for setting aside allowance for inventory valuation and obsolescence losses are in accordance with the Company’s policies and related standards; and executing the implementation of sampling procedures to check the correctness of stock age. In addition, we also examined the inventory aging reports, understood the subsequent sales status of slow-moving inventories; and evaluated the adopted basis of net realizable value to verify the rationality of the management’s estimates on the allowance for inventory valuation.

  1. The share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries and investments accounted for using equity method

Please refer to note (4)(h) ”Investments of subsidiaries ” for the accounting policies; note (6)(g) ” Investments accounted for using equity method”for explanatory notes about the investments under equity method.

Description of key audit matters:

The subsidiaries, which are recognized under equity method, are distributors for the sale of electronic components and computer peripheral equipment with holding material assets, such as accounts receivable and inventories. Therefore, the share of profit of subsidiaries and investments accounted for using equity method which is one of the material items in the financial statements is considered a key matter in our audit.

223

==> picture [62 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our main audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters include understanding the related control over investments accounted for using equity method; testing the changes of the investment under equity method within the year, including the recognition of investments gains (losses) and the share of comprehensive income; as well as assessing whether the Company’s recognition of investments are in accordance with the related standards.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

’ Those charged with governance (including Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company s financial reporting process.

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material

224

==> picture [62 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors ’ report are Jui-Lan Lo and Yiu-Kwan Au.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)

(1) Company history

Weikeng Industrial Co., Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated in Taiwan as a company limited by shares in January 1977 and registered under the Ministry of Economic Affairs, R.O.C. The address of the Company’ s registered office is 11F, No.308 Sec. 1, Neihu Rd., Neihu Dist., Taipei City. The major activities of the Company are the purchase and sale of electronic components and computer peripherals, technical service, and the import-export trade business. The Company’s common shares were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE).

(2) Approval date and procedures of the financial statements:

The accompanying parent company only financial statements were authorized for issuance by the board of directors on March 26, 2021.

(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:

  • (a) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.

  • Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

  • Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

  • Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

(4) Summary of significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies presented in the financial statements are summarized below. Except for those specifically indicated, the following accounting policies were applied consistently throughout the periods presented in the financial statements.

  • (a) Statement of compliance

These annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations).

  • (b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value (including derivative financial instruments);

  • 2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value;

  • 3) The defined benefit liabilities are measured at fair value of the plan assets less the present value of the defined benefit obligation limited as explained in to note 4(n).

231

(ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Company is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the entity operate. The financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(c) Foreign currencies

  • (i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Company entity at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for those differences relating to the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • ‧ an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income;

  • ‧ a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; or

  • ‧ qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into the functional currency at the average exchange rate. Exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to noncontrolling interests. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

232

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, Exchange differences arising from such a monetary item that are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  • (i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  • (e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are reclassified as cash equivalents.

  • (f) Financial instruments

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

233

  • (i) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL.

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • ‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • ‧ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset measured at amortized cost is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment loss, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

‧its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Some accounts receivables are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling by the Company, therefore, those receivables are measured at FVOCI. However, they are included in the “ accounts receivables” line item.

234

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Debt investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established, which in the case of quoted securities is normally the ex-dividend date.

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Financial assets in this category are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent changes that are measured at fair value, which take into account any dividend and interest income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4)

  • Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized costs, notes and accounts receivable, other receivable and guarantee deposit paid), accounts receivable measured at FVOCI and contract assets.

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • ‧debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

  • ‧other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

235

Loss allowance for trade receivables and contract assets are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forward-looking information.

The Company considers a debt security to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of ‘ investment grade which is considered to be BBB- or higher per Standard & Poor’s, Baa3 or higher per Moody’ ’ s or twA or higher per Taiwan Ratings .

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 90 days past due or the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

‧significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

‧a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;

‧the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower's financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

236

‧it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

‧the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets, the Company recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

5)

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • 1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

  • 2) Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

  • 3) Compound financial instruments

Compound financial instruments issued by the Company comprise convertible bonds that can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holder, when the number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary with changes in fair value.

The liability component of compound financial instruments is initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is initially recognized at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured.

Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss.

On conversion at maturity, the financial liability is reclassified to equity and no gain or loss is recognized.

4) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

238

  • 6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (iii) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately if the host contract is not a financial asset and certain criteria are met. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average-cost principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or transition costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their present location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less, the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(h) Investment in subsidiaries

The subsidiaries in which the Company holds controlling interest are accounted for using equity method in the parent-company-only financial statements. Under equity method, the net income, other comprehensive income and equity in the parent-company-only financial statements are the same as those attributable to the owners of parent in the consolidated financial statements.

Changes in the Company's ownership of subsidiaries which have not resulted in the loss of control are treated as equity transactions with the owner.

  • (i) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

239

  • (ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

  • (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • 1) Buildings: 59 years

  • 2) Transportation equipment: 5~6 years

  • 3) Machinery equipment: 1~6 years

  • 4) Office and other equipment: 1~7 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (j) Leases

  • (i) Identifying a lease

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Company assesses whether:

  • 1) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and

  • 2) the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and

  • 3) the customer has the right to direct the use of the asset throughout the period of use only if either:

  • the customer has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use; or

  • the relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:

240

  • - the customer has the right to operate the asset throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or

  • - the customer designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used throughout the period of use.

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Company has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

(ii) As a leasee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is assessed periodically and is reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • 1) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payment;

  • 2) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • 1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • 2) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an extension or termination option; or

  • 3) there is any lease modifications in lease subject, scope of the lease or other terms.

241

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, including part of offices and transportation equipment. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(iii) As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

(k) Intangible assets

(i) Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

242

(iii) Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use. Computer software costs are amortized, on the average, by 1to 3 years.

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (l) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(m) Revenue recognition

  • (i) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company’s main types of revenue are explained below.

1) Sale of goods

The Company sells electronic components and computer peripherals to customers. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

243

The Company often offers commercial discounts and volume discounts to its customers. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A Refund liability is recognized for expected discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made at the end of the reporting period.

For certain contracts that permit a customer to return products, revenue would not be recognized for the products expected to be returned. In addition, the Company recognized a refund liability for these contracts and an asset (and corresponding adjustment to cost of sales) for its right to recover products from customers on settling the refund liability.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

2) Commissions

For every specific product or service which the Company promises to provide to customers, the Company should determine whether it is a principal or an agent. The Company is an agent when the other party joins to provide products or services to the customers, and the performance obligation of the Company is arranged by the other party as well. If the Company is an agent, the revenue will be recognized as the net amount from receivables of the products or services provided and payments to the other party; or be recognized based on the commission agreed upon in the contract.

3) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(n) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods; that benefit is discounted to determine its present value. The fair value of any plan assets are deducted. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Company’s obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

244

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the total of the present value of the economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in the future contributions to the plan. In order to calculate the present value of the economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Company. An economic benefit is available to the Company if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on the settlement of the plan liabilities.

When the benefits of a plan are improved, the expense of the increased benefit relating to past service by employees is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Company can reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings or other equity. If the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are transferred to other equity, they shall not be reclassified to profit or loss or recognized in retained earnings in a subsequent period.

The Company recognizes gains or losses on the curtailment or settlement of a defined benefit plan when the curtailment or settlement occurs. The gain or loss on curtailment comprises any resulting change in the fair value of plan assets and the change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

(iii) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognized as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed, without realistic possibility of withdrawal, to a formal detailed plan to either terminate employment before the normal retirement date, or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Termination benefits for voluntary redundancies are recognized as an expense if the Company has made an offer of voluntary redundancy, it is probable that the offer will be accepted, and the number of acceptances can be estimated reliably. If benefits are payable more than 12 months after the reporting period, then they are discounted to their present value.

(iv) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

245

(o) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is re-measured at each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the liability are recognized as personnel expenses in profit or loss.

(p) Income Taxes

Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

The Company has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatment, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS37.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • (i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;

  • (ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

246

  • (iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, (if any).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  • (i) the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

  • 2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

The surtax on unappropriated earnings is recoded as current tax expense in the following year after the resolution to appropriate retained earnings is approved in a stockholders’ meeting.

(q) Earnings per share

The Company discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as convertible bonds and employee compensation.

  • (r) Operating segments

The operating segment information is disclosed within the consolidated financial statements but not disclosed in the parent company only financial statement.

247

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with the Regulations requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the next period.

There are no critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows. Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of COVID-19 pandemic:

  • (a) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company estimates the net realizable value of inventories for normal consumption, obsolescence on unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to note (6)(f) for further description of the valuation of inventories.

The Company has assessed a portion of its accounts receivable that was held within a business model whose objective is achieved by selling financial assets; therefore, such accounts receivable was measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company applies the simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics of the customer's ability to pay all due amounts in accordance with contract terms, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information. The loss allowance provision was determined as follows:

The Company has entered into accounts receivable factoring agreements with banks. According to the factoring agreement, the Company does not bear the loss if the account debtor does not have the ability to make payments upon the transfer of the accounts receivable factoring. The Company has not provided other guarantee except for the promissory notes, which have the same amount with the factoring used as the guarantee for the sales return and discount. The Company received the proceeds from the discounted accounts receivable on the selling date. Interest is calculated and paid based on the duration and interest rate of the agreement, and the remaining amounts are received when the accounts receivable are paid by the customers. In addition, the Company has to pay a service charge based on a certain rate.

The Company derecognized the above trade receivables because it has transferred substantially all of the risks and rewards of their ownership, and it does not have any continuing involvement in them. The amounts receivable from the financial institutions were recognized as “other receivables” upon the derecognition of those trade receivables.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company sold its trade receivable without recourse as follows:

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was determined in some specific transactions as an agent that the other party sold some merchandises to end-customer by delivering them to the Company. In these cases, the Company did not obtain the control of the merchandises, therefore, the Company recognized the remaining sales amounts which have been offset against the payment to the other party from the transactions; or recognized the commission signed with the other party, as revenue.

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company was determined as an agent in the aforementioned transactions which revenue amounted to $72,001 and $11,383, respectively. Due to the above transactions, the other receivables amounted to $580,597 and $938,929 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively; and the other payables amounted to $632,478 and $936,542 as of the years then ended respectively.

  • (t) Remuneration to employees and directors

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation require that earning shall first be offset against any deficit, then, 6% to 10% of profit before tax (before deducting remuneration to employees and directors) will be distributed as employee remuneration and a maximum of 2.5% will be allocated as directors’ remuneration. Employees who are entitled to receive the above-mentioned employee remuneration, in share or cash, include the employees of the subsidiaries of the Company who meet certain specific requirements. Actual distribution should be determined in the Board of Directors’ meeting, with no less than two-thirds of directors present, and approved by more than half of the directors attending the meeting, then shall be report to the meeting of shareholders.

269

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the accrued remuneration of the Company's employees were $78,442 and $29,690, as well as directors were $19,611 and $7,422, respectively. These amounts were calculated by using the Company’s profit before tax for the period before deducting the amount of remuneration to employees and directors, multiplied by the distribution ratio of remuneration to employees and directors under the Company’s articles of Incorporation, and expensed under operating expenses. If the Board of Directors resolved to distribute employees’ remuneration in the form of shares, the numbers of shares to be distributed were calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares one day before the date of the meeting of the board of directors.

The amounts, as stated in the financial statements, are identical to those of the actual distributions for 2020 and 2019. Related information would be available at the Market Observation Post System website.

  • (u) Financial Instruments

  • (i) Credit risk

    • 1) Exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.

  • 2) Concentration of credit risk

Because the Company caters to a wide variety of customers and has a diverse market distribution, the Company does not concentrate in any single individual customer. Therefore, there is no significant credit risk of concentration in trade receivable. In order to reduce credit risk, the Company monitors the financial conditions of its customers regularly. However, the Company does not require its customers to provide any collateral.

  • 3) Receivables

For credit risk exposure of notes and trade receivables, please refer to note (6)(d).

The amount of other financial assets at amortized cost include other receivables which had been impaired. For the loss allowance provision, please refer to the note (6)(e).

2) Currency risk sensitivity analysis

The Company’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, notes and account receivables, other receivables, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, loans and borrowings, notes and accounts payables and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A change of 5% in the exchange rate of TWD or USD against foreign currency for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increase (decreased) the other comprehensive income (before tax) $1,061 and $1,118, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased (decreased) the net profit before tax as follows. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

  • 3) Exchange gains and losses of monetary items

As the Company deals in diverse foreign currencies, gains or losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the foreign exchange gain (loss), including both realized and unrealized, amounted to a gain of $112,975 and $41,627, respectively.

4) Equity market price risk

If the price of the fair value of equity instruments (including the stocks listed on domestic market at stock exchange (over-the-counter) market share, domestic emerging market stocks and domestic and foreign unlisted stocks) changed at the report date. (with the same analysis performed for both periods, assuming all other variable factors remain constant), it would have resulted in the change in the comprehensive income as illustrated below.

(iv) Interest rate analysis

The details of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk were as follows:

Variable rate instruments:
Financial assets
Financial liabilities
Carrying amount Carrying amount
December 31,
2020
$ 1,341,919
(3,978,260)
December 31,
2019

1,162,064

(4,076,418)

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to interest rate on the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding the assets and liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is on the basis of the assumption that the amount of assets and liabilities outstanding at the reporting date were outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increase or decrease by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Company’s management's assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, the Company's net profit before tax would have decreased or increased by $6,591 and $7,286 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which would be mainly resulting from demand deposits, and unsecured loans with variable interest rates.

(v) Fair value

  • 2) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value

The Company’s valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

275

a) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted prices are available, the discounted cash flows are used to estimate fair values.

  • 3) Valuation technique of financial instruments measured at fair value

  • a) Non-derivative financial instruments

If the financial instrument has a public quoted price in an active market, the public quoted price will be determined as the fair value. The measurements on fair value of the financial instruments without an active market are determined using the valuation technique or the quoted market price of its counterparty. Fair value measured using the valuation technique can be extrapolated from similar financial instruments, discounted cash flow method, or other valuation techniques which include the model used in calculating the observable market data at the balance sheet date.

The Company holds the unquoted equity investments of financial instruments without an active market. The measurement of fair value of the equity instruments is based on the Guideline Public Company method, which mainly assumes the evaluation by the price to book value ratio of similar public company and by the discount for lack of marketability. The estimation has been adjusted by the effect resulting from the discount for lack of marketability of the securities.

b) Derivative financial instruments

Measurement of fair value of derivative instruments is based on the valuation techniques that are generally accepted by the market participants. For instance, discount method or option pricing models. Fair value of forward currency exchange is usually determined by using the forward currency rate.

  • (v) Financial risk management

  • (i) Briefings

The Company is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments:

  • 1) Credit risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) Market risk

In this note expressed the information on risk exposure and objectives, policies and procedures of risk measurement and management. For detailed information, please refer to the related notes of each risk.

277

(ii) Structure of risk management

The Company ’ s finance department provides business services for the overall internal department. It sets the objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and the methods used to measure the risk arising from both the domestic and international financial market operations. The Company minimizes the risk exposure through derivative financial instruments. The board of directors regulated the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments in accordance with the Company’s policy about risks arising from financial instruments such as currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and the investments of excess liquidity. The internal auditors of the Company continue with the review of the amount of the risk exposure in accordance with the Company’ s policies and the risk management policies and procedures. The Company has no transactions in financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) for the purpose of speculation.

(iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial ’ instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company s receivables from customers and investment securities.

1) Accounts receivable and other receivables

The Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before the Company’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. The Company’s review includes external ratings, when available, and in some cases bank references. Purchase limits are established for each customer, and these limits are reviewed periodically. The customers evaluated as low credit rating by the Company only have prepayment transactions with the Company.

Trade and other receivables mainly relate to a wide range of customers from different industries and geographic regions. The Company continued to assess the financial condition and credit risk of its customers, by grouping trade and other receivables based on their characteristics and will purchase credit guarantee insurance contracts if necessary.

Because the Company caters to a wide variety of customers and has a diverse market distribution, the Company does not concentrate in any single individual customer. Therefore, there is no significant credit risk of concentration in trade receivable. In order to reduce the credit risk, the Company monitors the financial conditions of its customers regularly. However, the Company does not require its customers to provide any collateral.

278

2) Investments

The credit risks exposure in the bank deposits, investments with fixed income and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the Company’s finance department. Since the Company ’ s transaction counterparties and the contractually obligated counterparties are banks, financial institutes and corporate organizations with good credits, there are no compliance issues, and therefore, no significant credit risk. The finance department evaluates the counterparty ’ s credit condition when investing in bond investment without an active market, and do not expect to have any significant credit risk.

  • (iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset.

The Company manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Company’s management supervises the banking facilities and ensures in compliance with the terms of the loan agreements.

Borrowings from the banks and accounts receivable factoring are important sources of liquidity for the Company. Please refer to note (6)(d) and note (6)(j) for unused short-term bank facilities and factoring amount as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

(v) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

1) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currencies of the Company, primarily the USD, CNY and HKD.

When short-term assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are unbalanced, the Company uses exchange rate to buy or sell about foreign currency to ensure that the net risk is maintained at an acceptable level.

2) Interest rate risk

’ ’ As the Company s borrowings position are based on USD and NTD, the Company s capital cost will result in an decrease (increase) when Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) decrease (increase) the interest rate of USD and NTD. The Company adjusts the proportion of the USD and NTD borrowings to minimize the cost of capital, in order to reduce interest rate risk to an acceptable level.

279

  • 3) Other price risk

The management of the Company monitors the listed or OTC share investments and open-end mutual funds based on the market price.

  • (w) Capital management

The policy of the board of directors is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, capital surplus, and retained earnings.

The Company monitors the capital structure by way of periodical review on the liability ratio. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019 the liability ratios were as follows:
